Free Agency Recap: Pittsburgh Penguins

Photo from NHL.com The Pittsburgh Penguins started July 1st out with the unexpected signing of forward Brandon Tanev, but were relatively quiet the rest of the day, as they only signed two minor league players. Nobody really expected them to go crazy in free agency, but I thought they would have signed a defenseman. Here … Continue reading Free Agency Recap: Pittsburgh Penguins →

Free Agency Recap: Philadelphia Flyers

Photo from NHL.com Philadelphia was busy this offseason, as they added a ton of depth to their team.

Free Agency Recap: New Jersey Devils

photo from NHL.com The New Jersey Devils have been quiet during free agency, although they did sign one relatively big-name player in Wayne Simmonds.

So, they had already drastically improved their team … Continue reading Free Agency Recap: New Jersey Devils →

Free Agency Recap: Columbus Blue Jackets

photo from NHL.com The Columbus Blue Jackets signed a big fish in Gustav Nyquist, but it will surely not be enough to replace the three key players they lost in Matt Duchene, Sergei Bobrovsky, and Artemi Panarin. They also resigned a few guys that will have much bigger roles this coming season because of those … Continue reading Free Agency Recap: Columbus Blue Jackets →
